Absolutely delighted with our performance in Westbourne. Obviously we scooped up votes that would have gone to Labour, but it could have been even better - the LibDem candidate was a member of the Green Party until a few weeks ago, and only stood for them because he thought there would be no 'left' candidate. Comes to something when the LibDems have to 'borrow' candidates from the Greens  My aunt and uncle live in Westbourne. Genuinely curious about who they voted for now! |

That's hilarious - especially the view that Labour didn't contest the seat for fear of losing to Patria. Well, I suppose they might have got 2 votes! |
